“Authentic photos of the genuine you, enhanced with subtle, natural-looking edits to ensure you look your absolute best.
We carefully remove blemishes, diminish under-eye circles, gently minimize the appearance of double chins, whiten teeth and eyes, soften age-related facial lines, fine lines around the eyes, and age-related lines on the neck, and even out skin tones—all done in a refined, flattering way that keeps your image looking true to life.”
To continuously refine and expand our portrait lighting and portfolio, Executive Lens periodically schedules trade shoots to develop specific looks and lighting styles. The images shown above reflect the current direction of this work.
We are inviting individuals with a strong on-camera presence to be considered for this project. Actors and models are especially encouraged to apply, though prior experience is not required.
To be considered, please contact Executive Lens and include the phrase “Model Call” in the subject line of your email.
This series is focused on a high-contrast, window-inspired lighting style, featuring subtle side lighting to shape the face and, when appropriate, gentle wind movement in the hair.

Reviews
“DJ, you have a gift...a series of gifts, actually, that allows you to produce such fine work. You have a deep technical understanding of your craft. You listen to understand. You employ humorous patter to help everyone relax into the process. You have a practiced eye that only comes with years of experience. At the end of the day, five individuals walked away with wonderful images. Thank you so much for making this shoot such a pleasurable experience.”
“I really appreciated my Executive Lens session with DJ. I signed up because looking at the pictures on his site, I was taken with the striking beauty and power in each one. I was a little nervous going in and he guided me in very detailed ways that helped me get the hang of it quickly and I was comfortable in front of the camera. My ease came in part as DJ is easy to talk to and seemingly low key while he’s managing a lot of detail. The images came out so natural. Only a seasoned professional and artist can do what DJ does. Thank you and I wish you the best in serving many others who for whatever reason need to show themselves to the world.”
